Why not bang the crap 201 on EBay and some roofer will pay silly money for it, then buy a nice new improved one.

Sounds like a total waste of time

I find this thread and other threads about the moisture content of logs funny, people are getting to anal about bloody wood! We have burnt wood since the start of time and I doubt they had a blinking moisture meter back when cave men were using fire as heat. Get some wood and hold it in your hand, if it's wet then leave it if it's dry then burn it. The whole firewood market is a joke, people brainwashed into thinking softwood is crap. Well your wrong, the Scandinavians burn pretty much only softwood and they happy enough. This is one of the reasons I'm getting out of logs, people are getting way to fussy about what they burn.

Mahonia without doubt:)

Wow, I agree Ian!! I've just spent £1500 on a new combi unit and hedge cutter sand saw etc.

Aspen is like Marmite, you either love it or hate it.

Or maybe people on here sticking up for people? When you post just add a smiley:)

Everyone is going to have their own opinions on this, for me if I get a job passed on and I get it then I do give a "thank you". If someone asks me for a recommendation for a tradesman I will pass on details but I don't expect anything in return.

Get over it mate, logs are a more hassle than they are worth really, I'm getting to the point where I will pack in doing them soon. If they are dry and seasoned they will burn. To many people getting anal about logs. Let them crack on and I'll do my thing!

No. Sounds like he's getting gready.

I've heard a few people have had trouble with getting hold of the dealer, not a good sign.

I just priced up the Vermeer, 16 plus vat!

Bravo that man!!

I used to hire my chipper out but it was not looked after like I would of expected from tree surgeons. I now only hire with an operator, I put a price on to not get the job of chipping other people's crap. The best way to run is to have no worrys, renting your chipper out can be a stupid move.

I've never had anyone come and do a day for me and use more that 5 lt of juice. When I used to hire my chipper out it was £100 per day and it included a tank of juice.
-
If some one came to me saying there £??? a day plus fuel they would be passed over. Day rate is day rate for what ever they bring to the party. To many people in this game not understanding what it's about.
-
I don't get people's hang up on fuel is??? If you bring a £500 saw and your happy to put fuel in it that you don't know when or how was mixed then crack on but if you care about your gear them mix your own fuel and look after your kit.
-
Well it's easy, bring your own fuel. No one subs for me and uses my fuel. Your saw your fuel, it ain't rocket science.
-
£20 a day and they must be able to do anything and everything for 26 hours a day. Ha,Ha. A good grafter bringing his on saw and fuel. £80-100 per day.

4 of us won Thunderball Jackpot in 2004, £250k, I used my share to buy a tipper and a chipper and get set up in this game. I always say to people who moan about the lottery that you gotta be in it to win it!
